As an English grad student, I deliberately break grammatical rules in my fic writing for the sake of rhythm, flow, and emotional impact, in ways I absolutely would not do in my academic writing. Run-on sentences, hanging fragments, and other things like that can have their place in creative writing. Is there plenty of fanfiction with grammar errors to no artistic purpose? Yes, obviously. But different modes of writing have different conventions and standards because they exist for different purposes, and that's okay. I wouldn't never write a paper in second person, either, but second person prose can be hugely affecting in the right hands. Hell, I wouldn't even write a philosophy paper with the same structure and syntax as an English paper, because that world values a much stricter sense of objective clarity at the cost of elegance and flow. Maybe try more book fandoms/skewed older fandoms? That tends to raise the average a little in my estimation.

Came here to say this. Formal/academic writing has nothing to do with literary writing. They have very different rules and the thing with literary writing is you're only supposed to know the rules so you know how to break them later.

Especially in close third POV, where you are trying to convey your character's thoughts and emotional state..you just can't do that realistically with perfect grammatical sentence structure? I mean, unless I'm the weirdo in the world but my internal narrative is SO not grammatically correct!!
